#5: Not sure of the total figure but in 1964 Robert Price (a.k.a. Disney Lawyer Robert Foster) agreed to an option to purchase 12,400 acres in Florida owned by three Orlando home builders for US$145 per acre. Also documented are the purchase of 1250 acres of land north of Bay Lake and a 8500 acre cattle ranch in Osceola County

I am so confused! The answer to one of the trivia questions states that Spash Mountain opened up in 1992. I went to WDW in 1980 and was sure I rode Splash Mountain. I did not return to WDW until 2006, so I could not have possibly remembered wrong. I told my girls all about Spash Mountain, I knew the story and I told them how much I loved that ride and it was my favorite! (I also remember loving Big Thunder Mountain and It's a Small World from that trip.) How can this be? Was it called something else in 1980? Was it shut down and reopened in 1992? It would have been impossible for me to know and remember a ride that didn't exist and this is driving me crazy. I even googled it because I thought it must be a typo on Intercot! Please, I hope someone out there remembers something ...

Do you want me to give you the exact acre since no one seemed to answer this one and you have a lot of info on it....plus you were correct with the amt of acres that they own today.....Let me know unless you want me to see if someone else chimes in......

[reneeandmark]

YES!!! answer, please..

K!
Here is the answer to number 5!
In total there were 27,443 acres or 43 square miles of property purchased at a cost of a little more than $5 million. (although in one other place I have seen it for 27,800 acres so I would have taken either). Today the Walt Disney Company owns over 30,000 acres.

Who would like to post the next set of questions to test "the little grey cells", as Hercules Poirot would say?
